Island and a Castle

Loreto – a small private island and a castle on Lake Iseo in northern Italy. In the late 5th century, the monastery was built here, which existed for centuries, and, in the end, abandoned in the 16th century. During a visit to the island of Cardinal Carlo Borromeo in 1580, there lived a hermit by the name of Peter. In the late 19th century historian Gabriel Rosa mentioned the presence on the island of Loreto ruins of an ancient fortress with two towers and a chapel.
